Why the Value Cycle?

Many organisations have traditionally pursued value creation by focusing on direct costs such as labour, manufacturing, and logistics. However, companies can create even greater value by looking at the social and environmental implications of the product life cycle across the entire value chain.

Doing so provides stakeholders with greater efficiency and transparency over a product’s total impact, from product development, sourcing, and manufacturing through to distribution, marketing, use, and disposal and/or recycling and reuse.
